RPL: Perth - Where do you fly?

I've been hoping to get my PPL for a few years now but as a uni student and young dad, funds are best spent elsewhere.

I've started gliding since it's a touch cheaper and gets me in the air.

Though I have recently noticed the Recreational Pilots License. It looks like training costs may be as low as $7000 to become qualified (factors considering of course).

So I am wondering who in Perth has one, where do you fly? How does the licence suit you?

I wonder if it would allow me to fly to Rottnest (or further Murryfeild > Bunbury?) with a friend to split hire charges with. Is it limited to a single passenger or can I hire a 172 for 3 passengers?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and what you know.
